This depends on which ISO you use and your method of installation. I normally just use the cd to load the installation programs - sysinstall - and download everything over the net during installation. But, you can install from the stuff on the CD set and Gnome and KDE are in that set as well as many other things. Note that ports are continuously updated, so the one you install over the net could be newer than the one from the CD. ////jerry > > Jerry McAllister <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> wrote: On Tue, Feb 19, 2008 at > 01:19:51AM -0800, Lone Wolf wrote: > > > I'm not going to serve any one, I just want to take a small test drive > > with FreeBSD . > > Regarding my graphic card, it is 32 MB, is it ok? > > I suppose it depends on the graphics card model, but probably. > Check that hardware compatibility list.
